Good source of magnesium:

The third most abundant mineral found in cashews is magnesium which is required by the body for a whole host of reactions, in fact over 300 essential metabolism reactions require magnesium to successfully function! We need magnesium to break down carbohydrates and fats and produce ATP (our body’s energy currency) within the body. It also plays a structural role in our bones, cell membranes and chromosomes, so our very DNA is dependent on this vital mineral.” -Jess, graze nutritionist

Source of good fats:

The fats that are contained in cashews are well worth a mention. Approximately 82% of the fat found in cashews comes from unsaturated fatty acids and 66% of this unsaturated fatty acid content are heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, similar to those found in olive oil which we know through lots of studies has positive benefits for our health.” -Jess, graze nutritionist
